This is a huge art book dedicated to the art of the celebrated American illustrator/writer, most renowned for his children's book Where The Wild Things Are.

More than 200 colour illustrations spanning over 60 years of the artist's career are collected in this book, a catalogue of the works which were on display at the Society of Illustrators in New York City from June 11August 17, 2013.

Also included are 12 essays penned by such noted scholars and historians as Leonard S. Marcus, Iona Opie, Steven Heller, and Paul O. Zelinsky. A must have for any fans of the childlike innocence of Sendak's work.
